Electronic engine immobiliser
The key contains an electronic chip which has
a special code. When the ignition is switched
on, this code must be recognised in order for
starting to be possible.
This electronic engine immobiliser locks the
engine management system a few moments
after the ignition is switched off and prevents
starting of the engine by anyone who does not
have the key.

informed by illumination of this
warning lamp, an audible signal
and a message in the screen.

automatically cut off to preserve the state of
charge of the battery.

Never leave the engine running in
an enclosed area without adequate
ventilation: internal combustion
engines emit toxic exhaust gases,
such as carbon monoxide. Danger of
intoxication and death. In very severe
winter conditions (temperatures
below -23°C), it is necessary to allow
the engine to run for 4 minutes before
setting off, in order to ensure the
correct operation and durability of
the mechanical components of your
vehicle, the engine and gearbox.
If the engine does not start straight
away, switch the ignition off. Wait a
few moments before trying again. If
the engine does not start after a few
attempts, do not keep trying: you risk
damaging the starter motor and the
engine. Call on a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop. In temperate conditions, do not
warm the engine up with the vehicle
stationary, but move off straight away
and drive at moderate engine speeds.
In wintry conditions, the warning lamp
will stay on longer. When the engine is
hot, it does not come on. Wait until this warning lamp goes off
in the instrument panel, then operate
the starter motor by turning the key to
position
3 until the engine starts, without
pressing the accelerator pedal. Once
the engine starts, release the key.

deteriorates above 25°C. It is recommended
that bottles be stored in a cool area and
protected from direct sunlight.
Under these conditions, the additive can be
kept for at least a year.
If the additive has frozen, it can be used once it
has completely thawed out.
Recommendations on storage
Before topping-up, ensure that the vehicle is
parked on a flat and level sur face.
In wintry conditions, ensure that the
temperature of the vehicle is above -11°C.
Otherwise the AdBlue

so cannot be poured into its tank. Park your
vehicle in a warmer area for a few hours to
allow the top-up to be carried out.
